yeah, a pretty good issue this month....I'm reading it now. I'm going to drop by an Infiniti dealership soon and see when they'll start taking deposits on those Skylines. 450hp and AWD in the Z/G35 chassis sounds like a winner to me!!! Curious to see how much $$$ they'll be asking though.

Yeah, one of the things that originally turned me off to the G35 coupe was the lack of AWD that the sedan had.. the engine, well, its nice to see 450hp, but its not something that you couldn't do yourself.. I'd like to see the entire Z coupe or G35 coupe line get AWD and 6 speed..

The article stated that as of now there aren't going to use the "skyline" name. It would be called an Infiniti gt-r.

I would hope the GT-R is more than just 450 HP and AWD in a G chassis. AWS, active AWD, active suspension? Anything?

From the article

"All-wheel drive will be part of the GT-R equation and we expect it to be at least as sophisticated as the ATTESA system used in the R34 Skline GT-R."


"The suspensionwill keep the basic geometry of the regular g35, but Lotus is helping Nissan tune it to some nuuier level of perfection."
